“Working as an associate for a previous design consultancy, I found that the role was a mixture of design, leadership, management and responsibility. This was a natural step when moving up from a senior engineer. However, these elements require a very good balance, which I found was difficult to achieve whilst working for a design consultancy. Working longer hours and juggling a very high workload triggered me to start exploring other opportunities.
Stuart contacted me about a role within a property management company, who are not your traditional MEP design consultancy. I was reluctant at first to move from a traditional design consultancy but after several conversations with Stuart, I decided to pursue it further.
Stuart provided me with loads of information about the company, and in particular about an Electrical Associate Director role. The level of and quality of information provided allowed me to assess the job role and company thoroughly which mentally prepared me for the interview. Stuart was pivotal in answering any burning questions I had about the company, the role and in particular the transition. The guidance and advice provided by Stuart throughout the process gave me the comfort in knowing that this move was right for me and at the right point of my career.
With the assistance of Stuart and his team, I could not have asked for a smoother transition into property consultancy, albeit within the engineering department. The relationships I have already made within the company have made the workflow simple and manageable. Stuart and his team have guided me through the process and still provide the support to ensure the move was right by checking in every now and again.”
“I have been with Unova for 5 months moved from a a much larger organization. The move did not only change the type of work I do, but also the way I do it, as well as the timescales. Being in a large firm, with big multi million projects to work on, the process of design all the way to Construction can be slow, and takes time to actually see the finished buildings. The work can sometimes tends get repetitive.
Working at Unova, the scale of the projects we usually work on are smaller and swifter, meaning that you end up working in a more dynamic world. This is something that has been very beneficial for me, as I tend to finish one and get to move onto the next. Additionally, I have the opportunity of getting to know our clients from the first week and start interacting and understanding their needs, of being part of the conversation on how we can make their buildings work more efficiently and provide advice on new or upcoming regulations that might affect their CAPEX budget etc. This is something that easily could have taken me a couple of extra years to experience in a larger firm.
Stuart was very helpful from the beginning of the process, he really understood what Unova did, was very clear at explaining their business model, their policies and gave me an insight of all team members. This move is one that has been very beneficial for my career and to my personal life.”
